fake

We have the name, specs and new photos of the Nexus One clone we mentioned recently. The device is called the Teg W3000, and is probably one of the better rip-off out there. Just look at what it has to offer:

It's time for another Chinese fake. This unnamed phone tries very hard to look like the Nexus One, while running an OS somewhat similar to the iPhone OS, at least judging by the home screen. Of cource, at an unsubsidized price of 550 yuan (about $80) don't expect anything more than basic cell phone functionality. Noticeable highlights include alarge touchscreen and a trackball for navigation. More info here.

This one is probably Chinese... Clearly a rip off device, this handset steals the branding from OQO (manufacturer is not OQO, according to UMPC Portal), while at the same time imitates the design of some of the Palm’s popular smartphones. But the main thing is that the OQO G900 runs Windows Mobile 6.1. How they managed to get a license from Microsoft is a mistery, but it wouldn't be surprised if it turns out to be a modified version, taken from another handset.

Wow, great copy! I think this time Chinese have managed to create a perfect clone of a handset. This time it's HTC Touch Dual, and damn it looks so real. Anyway, just for the sake of propriety they put an "HY" sign on the back to let everyone know the device is fake.

Chinese have cloned yet another device. This time it’s HTC TyTN II. As you can see the fonts and icons on the screen here are wrong, but generally this is a quality fake, as the phone itself looks almost the same. Moreover, it has two SIM slots and runs Windows Mobile.

The new Asus Aura phone that we told you about a few weeks ago has been official denied by ASUS, who said in an email:

It has come to our attention that the concept phone “Aura” design bears the company logo and name of ASUSTeK Computer Inc. This concept phone and its design however,is not sanctioned or supported by our company.

As supposed some guys from engadget mobile, ASUS possibly trying to take back information on a leaked prototype.
